Ulrich Schnauss is a talented German musician and producer, whose labels recently sued Guns N’ Roses for using his melodies in their album. Meanwhile, Schnauss has been releasing own albums or EPs (like a very interesting release with A Shoreline Dream), and remixing others. This time, let’s take a look at his new collection of remixes, Missing Deadlines.

This is the essence of shoegaze, concentrated of 14 tracks of artists that could be stylistically united, but would sound awkward and boring put together in a compilation. At the same time, drawn together by Ulrich Schnauss, they started sounding “in tune”. Here we have Howling Bells and Slowdive vocalist Rachel Goswell, separately Howling Bells, Aus, Asobi Seksu, Mojave 3… Schnauss seems to have plunged into the molecular structure of each song, isolating a shoegaze stream from each and every one of them, and building his own structures around them. The result is like everything coming from Schnauss, electronic shoegaze folding around you like a cloud.
